You also need to distinguish between absolute and relative accuracy.

Re: CompactFlash / Magnetic Fields

Do magnetic fields affect / corrupt CompactFlash cards? I remember it was an issue with floppy discs (showing my age and inexperience with the modern world!) Just wondering if I have to keep my flash card well separated from the GPS antenna when packing my DL1 in the carry case. No worries. The onl...

Thanks Stan, That all makes good sense. As I want to move the logger from vehicle to vehicle, the remote status light won't work for me. I think what I'll do is build the light and relay into a separate unit, which I can attach to the top or bottom of the logger. Then I can just run the wires to th...

I think this modification (12V lamp) is fantastic! I just wondered if Tech Support or someone from RT would like to comment before I go ahead and make the same mod to my own DL1. I'd hate to invalidate the warranty (i just bought my DL1 this month). I understand that if I muck something up doing th...

I have noticed a lot of light "bleed" between the standard LEDs on the front panel, maybe a generous "blob" of potting compound or similar would sort that out. If you look at the second picture above showing the DL1 internals you can see that the LEDs themselves actually reside on the PC board. At ...

Stan, the lamp mounted on the face plate & the relay is what I'm interested in adding. We frequently swap DL1s around so that would be very helpful. Also, I think it would be great if RT would consider adding a more visible light as a permenant upgrade to future DL1s Here is what I did. I used ...

Stan, can you give more specifics an adding that LED? maybe an inside picture? Sure I'd be happy to post some inside shots. Just wait about a day. I did not use an LED as those I looked at were all narrow angle of view devices. So I used a normal incandescent panel light which draws more current th...

Re: HP modeler?

I know this is a big request. But it's something that's doable and, to my knowledge, no other DAQ vendor offers.-Kyle There are many simplifying assumptions which can help out a great deal. For one thing, what is the gearing situation? If this is fixed for example, things get *much* simpler. Also, ...

Re: Log Status output

I'd like to set up my DL1 to have an external LED to show the logging status, but I'm only measuing a 5mV output when logging. Is it supposed to be this way? It would be kind of nice if I could have about 1,000 times that, since 5mV isn't going to light up much of anything. The DL1 can handle a sta...

Re: Exporting data from DL-1 Analysis

You can also use a screen grabber program and print from that, awkward but works.

Also, please check the present Autocross relate thread in the "Requested New Features" area. Various other suggestions can be found there.

Just tie into the stock throttle position sensor. You want the green/yellow wire on the Elise.

Kyle, where to begin. How about roughly 4-5 years using the R-T products starting with one of the first AP-22s to reach the US? And logging experience going back to the 80s. I have about 8-9 different loggers BTW. I have shared tons of my knowledge on all sorts of forums. If you don't like the R-T s...

There are lots of online calculators or Excel addins that can provide polynomial curve fit equations given some data examples such as x,y or what not. Easy stuff.

Clearly you're not reading my posts. Consider this: that oil pressure sensor alone is 25% of the cost of the WHOLE DAQ SYSTEM ! -Kyle Sure your posts are read, by amateurs and pros. If you don't need super awesome pressure readings use a different sensor. Look...how can you drive your car now - it ...
